is it possible to build a project without recompiling the forms like in
FoxPro?

i mean in foxpro when you make some changes even in the code part of a form
you can see the effect without a recompile.
 
I'm not sure what you mean by "you can see the change". Do you mean "you
can see the change in the development environment?"

Hi Sezai,

I'm not familiar with foxpro, but the Visual Studio Designer is only
loosely tied to the code. Any changes made in the designer will change
the code, but any changes made in code will not be reflected in the
designer, and may instead be overwritten by the designer if your changes
are plazed in the InitializeComponent method.
 
i think i couldn't make myself clear. i'm not talking about making a change
in the code behind that will effect the design. for example, in asp.net if
you make a change only in the designer not in the code behind, you simply
run the page from the browser to see the change (you do not rebuild the
project). as in this example, but this time i'm making a change in the code
behind. for instance, changing a button click event to do a different job.
do i HAVE TO rebuild the project. also, if you are making a big project,
everytime you add a new form into it the exe file will become larger and
larger. i don't want this. i want my exe file is as small as possible and
use the forms as resource files.

thanks for your replies...
 
Hallo,

IMHO he wanna use smth like XAML, but it will be avaible only

I have no idea what FoxPro was doing... probably storing the forms in a data
file and "building" them on the fly. This sounds pretty slow to me.

I'm happier with anything that speeds up the process of loading each form.
Dot net is no speed demon during load-up, no argument there, but I'm not
that interested slowing it down any further.

Compiled code is fast code.

The size of the EXE matters once, during install, and then only in terms of
the number of seconds difference it takes to download a 100K EXE over an
120K EXE. That's not a lot of difference. Loading a form happens all the
time.

Hi,

I work with Visual FoxPro, and in Visual FoxPro you can work like as a
interpreted language, changing and executing a form without compiling. In
..NET I think it's impossible.
